"There's no point in doing so. He can believe whatever he wants to believe."
"Do you want me to stand as your witness?"
"No. This ends here."
Mister Kirby did not insist. "Alright, then. Call me if you need anything."
Vicky was about to thank him again when he said, "Don't thank me again. I'm getting tired of hearing you say that."
She froze for a moment before chuckling. "Okay. Goodbye, then."
After ending the call, Vicky headed back to the hospital and heard a soft voice of a woman as soon as she arrived outside Tyler's door.
"Tyler, you're still injured. You need to eat your dinner."
"Set it down. I will eat later," Tyler responded.
"But Tyler..." Sheila wanted to persist when she heard the door opening, and she turned to find Vicky walking into the room.
Vicky scanned the two and saw the bowl of soup in Sheila's hand.
Sensing that Vicky was looking at her, Sheila explained, "I've been discharged and came to say goodbye to Tyler, only to find him alone in his room." She scowled in annoyance. "Miss Shaw, Tyler's condition has just stabilized and is in desperate need of someone to take care of him. I know that you're upset with me for what has happened and that you don't want to see me here, but..."
She looked into Vicky's eyes in all seriousness. "Miss Shaw, if you don't want me around, you shouldn't give me a reason to come here. If you're reluctant to take care of Tyler because he got injured for my sake, well... I can take care of him."
